Kansas City Chiefs DE Mike DeVito (Achilles') and LB Derrick Johnson (Achilles') will miss the rest of the season because of Achilles' tendon injuries they suffered during the team's Week 1 game, according to head coach Andy Reid. Both players will undergo surgery to repair the injuries.

Kansas City Chiefs DT Kyle Love, who was signed earlier this week, may be needed to play as soon as Week 12 against the San Diego Chargers with DT Mike DeVito (knee) suffering from a sprained knee. Love was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, which is why the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars cut him. He lost 20 pounds to the disease and is weighing 312 pounds currently, the lightest he's been in years. "I knew I was eating bad. I just had to cut out all the bad stuff," Love said. "A lot of people try to blow it out of proportion, that I lost all the weight because of diabetes. I lost the weight on my own, and then I got diagnosed with diabetes." The Chiefs signed him after he received clearance from the team doctors.

Kansas City Chiefs DL Mike DeVito is expected to start at defensive end next season and play on early downs. DeVito likely will come off the field on obvious passing downs. The team is hoping DeVito will be able to improve their run defense.

Updating a previous report, the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms with DL Mike DeVito to a three-year deal worth $12.6 million. The deal includes $6.2 million in guaranteed money. He is scheduled to receive $5.1 million in 2013.

The New York Jets will make re-signing impending free-agent DL Mike DeVito a "priority," according to a source. It is still unclear whether they will be able to afford DeVito, as the team is just $8 million under the salary.

New York Jets impending free-agent DT Mike DeVito said he hopes to re-sign with the team despite seeing his role decrease this season. DeVito is expected to be easy to re-sign if the team wants to because he likely will not get a hefty salary.

New York Jets DT Mike DeVito said there continues to be plenty of support for head coach Rex Ryan inside the locker room and nobody has quit on him. "Not at all ... we're not giving up on anybody," DeVito said. "Until you can't make the playoffs, you always want to fight to make the play no matter what the chances are."
